New From bareMinerals: The Dusk Eyeshadow Palette and the Bounce & Blur Blushes

August 1st, 2019 by Karen 6 Comments

Bounce & Blur, by bareMinerals

Everything in my condo is bumping. The walls are rattling, floors are clanging… Oh, and these four new bareMinerals blushes and eyeshadow palette are bouncing.

We started doing the household repairs I mentioned the other day, which means LOTS of noise and workmen doing stuff right now, but I should be living like royalty (“I’m the queen of the world!”) with a new furnace, new water heater AND a working air conditioner by the end of the week. YAY!

With the tools banging and the classic rock blasting from the very nice workmen, concentrating has been…a challenge, so if I seem a little disheveled, that’s why.

Hella random side note regarding classic rock and misheard lyrics, but Bad Moon Rising just played a few minutes ago, and when the chorus started, instead of thinking, “There’s a bad moon on the rise,” I thought, “There’s a bathroom on the right.” THANKS, SUZANNE!

OK, bareMinerals has a few fun new powder products for fall that bare fingers will be bouncing over, literally. The items in their new Bounce & Blur Collection (two eye palettes and four blushes) have a squishy, soft texture that boomerangs right back at ya when you press on the pans. They’re purposefully made to lay down diffused, hazy color, so they’re better for washes of color than precise placement.

I’ve seen this bouncy formula before from Chanel, MAC, Maybelline and Kaja Beauty, and the bareMinerals formula is comparably slick and smooth (it’s not wet, though, like cream blush). The powder skates across the skin.

Bounce & Blush Eyeshadow Palette in Dusk ($29)

I like using these eyeshadows as single washes of color on the lid, because fading the edges doesn’t require any work. Of course, you could use ’em with a brush, but for me, fingers work best both for application and blending.

It’s like working with a crayon cream shadow, but in a pot, and it’s easy and, most of all, fun. If you like simple, diffused glowing lids, I think you’ll have a blast with these.

Bounce & Blush Blushes ($29 each)

You also get that same quick diffusion of color with the blushes, which, by the way, feel more like a traditional cream product than the eyeshadows do.

The color I’m wearing today is called Coral Cloud, and the very first thing I noticed was how it looked like an expert artist washed a layer of watercolor paint on my cheeks. 😊

It looks like I’m wearing blush…but not, because I can’t see a layer of powder sitting on my skin or settling into my fine lines.

The Dusk Palette (1 of 2) is $29.

If you’re into fast, fresh makeup that doesn’t look heavy, I think you’ll really like this collection, especially the blushes. Those are the stand-outs for me.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    The blushes are pretty. I’m on board if they look light and natural. I hope the week goes by quickly and your new furnace and AC get installed without any hitches. Our system is over 20 years old and I’ve had it repaired a few times. Dear Husband has balked at the quotes I’ve gotten and I’m hesitant to have to deal with workmen crawling through the house and making noise, so it hasn’t been replaced yet. Sigh.

    Bwahahaha! You’ll never sing that song correctly again! 😉

    All my sympathies with the noise levels at your house. I know exactly what you mean. It’s so worth it, though! My walls are (mostly) whole, my roof doesn’t leak, and my furniture came home yesterday!!! Nothing will be in any kind of order for a while yet since the work isn’t done, but you’ve never seen two teenagers so excited about a couch before in your life. (Yes, I now officially have two teenagers. Sigh.) Thing One was so mad that she had to work and couldn’t spend the evening on the couch, lol.

    The blushes are super pretty! The palette is a little too dark for my liking! I don´t think i ever tried bareminerals!

    Hi,

    I used to read your blog everyday, having my morning coffee at work, for years. Probably short after you started. I stopped when I lost interest in make up.. But I’m so glad I found you again!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
